General Safety Information When
Installing or Servicing the Fan
Do not depend on any switch as the sole means of
disconnecting power when installing or servicing the fan.
Always disconnect, lock and tag power source before
installing or servicing. Failure to disconnect power source
can result in fire, shock or serious injury. Motor will
restart without warning after thermal protector trips.
Do not touch operating motor, it may be hot enough to
cause injury.
Do not place any body parts or objects in fan, motor
openings or drives, while motor is connected to
power source.
Do not use this equipment in explosive atmospheres!
1. Read and follow all instructions and cautionary markings.
Make sure electrical power source conforms to
requirements of equipment and local codes.
2. Ventilators should be assembled, installed and serviced
by a qualified technician. Have all electrical work
performed by a qualified electrician.
3. Follow all local electrical and safety codes in the United
States and Canada, as well as the National Electrical
Code (NEC), the Occupational Safety and Health Act
(OSHA), and the National Fire Protection Association
(NFPA) Bulletin 96 in the United States. Ground motor in
accordance with NEC Article 250 (grounding). Follow the
Canadian Electric Code (CEC) in Canada.
4. Motor and fan must be securely grounded (bare metal) to
a suitable electric ground, such as a grounded water pipe
or ground wire system.
NOTE: Refer to Figure 1 for connection wiring diagram.
OSHA compliant guards are required when fan is installed
within 7 feet of floor or working level.
In Canada, to reduce the risk of injury to persons CSA
compliant guards are required when fan is installed within
2.5 meters (8.2 feet) of floor or grade level.
5. Do not kink power cable or allow it to come in contact
with sharp objects, oil, grease, hot surfaces or chemicals.
Replace damaged cords immediately.
6. Make certain that the power source conforms to the
requirements for the equipment.
7. Never open access door to a duct with the ventilator
running.
8. Motor must be securely and adequately grounded. This
can be accomplished by wiring with a grounded, metalclad race way system by using a separate ground wire
connected to the bare metal of the motor frame, or other
suitable means.

Installation, troubleshooting and parts replacement is to
be performed only by a qualified personnel. Consult and
follow NFPA 96 recommendations. NFPA 96 instructions
supersede this document.
NOTE: Refer to motor nameplate for wiring procedures.
Refer to switch manufacturer for installation and
wiring procedures.
1. Cut an appropriate sized hole in the roof surface. Follow
curb manufacturer’s installation instructions. Caulk and
flash curb to ensure a water tight seal.
2. Position curb/equipment support(s) on the roof.
3. Good duct practices should be followed in accordance
with SMACNA and AMCA guidelines, NFPA 96 and any
local codes. The ductwork should extend far enough
above the roofline to meet the supply unit once it is
installed. See Figure 2.
4. Before installing supply unit, apply a sealant around
the perimeter of the supply duct to isolate the fan and
minimize vibration. See Figure 3.
5. Use a crane and set of spreader bars hooked to the
factory lifting holes (as shown in Figure 4) to lift and
center the unit on the curb. Use self-tapping sheet metal
screws to fasten unit to the curb.
NOTE: The use of all lifting holes and set of spreader
bars is mandatory when lifting unit.
6. For unassembled units, or when motor and drive is
shipped loose, install the motor and drive package as
shown in Figures 5, 6 and 7.
